WHAT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT PERVERTABLES?
We’ve probably spent close to $4,000 over the last three years on creating and growing our joy-box. There is the $600 that I shared in Post 43. XXX-Mas shopping, and the whopping $1,540 we spent as chronicled in 130. Growing our Joy Box. Let alone the nice cabinet (with locks!) that Mike bought to store all this in. And there have been a few other small purchases along the way. This doesn’t even address how much I was allowed on new clothes per my dress code or what we spent on my etiquette lessons.

If you are considering expanding your pleasure chest, here’s my thoughts on how meaningful some of our purchases have been or if, in hindsight, I should have stuck with a pervertable.

PERVERTABLE? Watchthis video from Go Eat a Carrotfor a detailed explanation. Simply put, a pervertable is anything you can repurpose or Macgyver for kinky purposes. If you aren’t’ familiar with the American slang, Macgyver is a term for improvising. Such as, “Using a stick, duct tape, nail clippers, and his socks, he Mcgyvered the stalled car to get it running.” Okay, not a pervertable example, but, I am sure you can think of something kinky to do with a stick, duct tape, nail clippers, and socks. Discuss!

So here’s a rundown of my thoughts on pervertables.

BONDAGE GEAR
We have some handcuffs, restraints, gags, and the more intimidating, spreader bar. These are more commonly used by or on Kayla as she enjoys being restrained more than I do. I don’t hate it, but it’s not my go-to thing. While I gave the spreader bar a try, it’s entirely Kayla’s thing.

Bondage Gear Pervertables?
– Restraints: Zip ties can be used as restraints but could be hard or to remove or even dangerous if you have to cut them off. Cheap rope can also be used.– Gags: Get a small wiffleball, you can find them about golf ball sized. Thread a string through it and tie it around the head. Viola! Breathable ball gag.

My thoughts: You can try the pervertable, but I believe the real thing is a good kinky investment. Less likely you’ll get hurt (in a bad way). I feel our $ was well spent.

BOOB PLAY
As sung in the Sound of Music. . . “Wartenburg on areolas and firm nipple suckers, tight nipple clippers and warm vacuum cup suction. Bound, big bosoms tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things.”

Boob Play Pervertables?– Nipple clips: clothespins, chip clips. Very inexpensive, and very effective.– Suction: I can’t imagine anything being a good alternative to the real toy, other than a mouth! But even then, a mouth gets tired! – Wartenburg wheel: There are plenty of things that can be used for sensation play; feathers, fingernails, clothes of different textures,

My thoughts: If this is something you enjoy, spend the money on the real toy. The exception is the nipple clamps. Clothespins are inexpensive and are a great substitute. The only downside is that some nipple clamps come with a mechanism to adjust them so you can customize the grip. You can’t do that with a pervertable. Oh, there is also my homemadetack bra. It took a little effort to make. A few repairs now and then as my sewing skills are sub-par, but overall, it works fine.

SPANKING IMPLEMENTSThis is where we probably spent the most money. Lots of paddles, crops, floggers, etc.

Spanking Pervertables?– Belts by far are #1 in my book. Not just for how effective they are, but there is more of an emotional attachment. It’s something Mike wears. It’s his. I get to see it in public and know where it’s been! Yummy to think about! Wooden spoons and hair brushes are tied for my #2. You can use a long-handled bathbrush too, but beware, some implements may pack a surprising wallop.

For the past several months Mike’s go-to is a board he has, pine I think. About 18 inches long, 3/4 inch thick, and two-and-half inches wide. Not sure where it came from, just something he had lying around. But it works great as a paddle. The only downside is that it is not rounded off for a grip. It gets uncomfortable for Mike to hold it after a while. Good thing for my butt!

My thoughts: Stock up on spanking pervertables and minimize your purchases of “official” implements. The stuff we bought isn’t used very often. They were fun to try out and occasionally fun to pull out for different sensations, but for someone who uses spanking as discipline and not part of play, we should have purchased fewer spanking implements. If your spanking is part of the play, then, yeah, you probably want the real spanking gear. The real stuff also gives a pleasurable visual. Looking at a piece of wood just won’t give you the same visceral reaction as seeing him go for the prison strap.

VIBRATORS / DILDOSVibrators can be expensive. While you can get some that are more moderately priced, my experience is that pleasure correlates to price. As does durability. But what can one do if needing to save on their pleasure budget?

Vibrator pervertables? – Washing machine. Hee-hee. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard the spin cycle can be really something. If you need something smaller, I guess a cell phone could work? Anyone ever actually try that? Turning the bass up and straddling a subwoofer? Seems like you’d really have to crank the volume up to make that work. An electric toothbrush is a good option. Can be intense and very focused on the clit, so said a teenage Jennifer {cough, cough}.

Insertable pervertables? – The vegetable bin in the refrigerator is one place to start. Yeah, I must admit, I’ve had a cornucopia of phallic edibles up my cooch over my lifetime. It’s actually been a long time though. Also, I guess just about anything with a slender handle can work – hairbrush, certain kitchen utensils, etc. The key is to make sure it isn’t jagged or otherwise dangerous – and long enough not to get lost! Then there’s always the banister or bedpost finials if you’re adventurous!

My thoughts: From a vibrator perspective, nothing beats an actual vibrator designed for stimulating a woman’s genitals. So spend the money! As for dildos, yeah, there are a lot of pervertables from which to choose, but many may be too long, too short, too wide, too skinny, or simply too dangerous. Like, for me, yeah, I’ve got bedpost finials, but, if I wanted to masturbate with them, I would have to be fully effaced! Ouch!

FINAL THOUGHTS
Sometimes a pervertable has to be used out of necessity. If you are young and at home, you can’t really have dildos or vibrators or such in your drawer, unless you have really progressive parents. Or, maybe you have roommates and you don’t want them to know anything about your masturbatory practices. Or heck, maybe you are even married and want to keep it on the down low. But if you are willing to have a budget for your joy box, consider where a pervertable will suffice and where the “real toy” is a must.

I want to hear from some of you? What have you used, or thought of using, or suggest someone try? Heck, if I like it, I may be willing to try it, except the finial thing. That would be a hard no.
